Ann Arbor — Michigan’s defensive players know plenty about Wisconsin sophomore running back Jonathan Taylor, who finished sixth in Heisman Trophy voting last year after being named the Big Ten’s freshman of the year.

Taylor is a 5-foot-11, 211- pound dynamo who leads the country in rushing, averaging 169.8 yards a game. He is coming off his second 200-yard game of the season, rushing for 221 yards and three touchdowns against Nebraska last week.
